Not meaning to offend anyone here but we've lost our sense of history when we don't understand the meaning or origin of the words we use daily.

I agree that history is important but we're not talking about a historical document nor are we talking about a completely male audience. Considering the context, using "developer" instead of "guy" made more sense for the audience of this article, especially when many of the non-guys in that audience feel excluded. Language matters too.
